Psalms 141:1 "Lord, I cry unto Thee: Make haste unto me; Give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee."

Our Heavenly Father hears every one of your prayers and words of praise.

Psalms 141:2 "Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; And the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice."

This is in reference to Revelation 5:8; "And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints." Every prayer that you make to the Father is taken notice of, and will be responded to. God shall take notice of all your prayer request, and He will take vengeance on our enemies. It shall come to pass. So what is the sacrifice? God said that He doesn't want our sacrifice, He wants your love. Then when you raise your hands to Him in prayer, that love from your heart ascends to the Father in prayer. It pleases our Lord very much.

Psalms 141:3 "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips,"

Put a guard at the door of my mouth, and don't allow me to offend you or any one else. Allow me to chose the right words to say, before I say them.

Psalms 141:4 "Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties."

Keep me in your plan, in your word to seek out the truths, and don't allow me to taste of their little religious rites that go against your Word. In other words, Don't allow me to fellowship with their iniquities. Their "dainties" are those things that are the height of their deception. That is that five persent of serpentine lies that goes against the Word of God. Sure the rest of it goes along with God's plan, but the small part left will knock your feet of the path that our Lord has set for us. The entire paragraph may be so true, but one word can make the entire thing a lie.

Psalms 141:5 "Let the righteous smite me: it shall be a kindness: And let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, Which shall not break my head: For yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities."

In other words, if you start going along with their little lies in one area of that fake religion, let the righteous true Word of God smite me and straighten me up; and I will thank Him for it. It will be oil, olive oil of anointing poured upon my head with the truth of God's Word flowing into my mind to seal the truth in my mind. The truth will never hurt me, no matter how much it corrects me. Lord, don't let me take part in their wickedness.

Psalms 141:6 "When their judges are overthrown in stony places, They shall hear my words; for they are sweet."

At the return of our Lord, all those judges will be overthrown. In many church houses today, they do not want the Word of God to be taught, but only the traditions that don't offend them as they live in their stony places. They just want to hear those sweet and fluffy things that make them feel real good.

Psalms 141:7 "Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, As when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth."

In the Manuscripts the word "Our" is not there but it reads "there". "Their bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, " Why? Because they are the children of death, the children of Satan. When you cut down a tree, that tree will never live again, and that is as their bone are, there will never be live in those bones again. This has been doctored a bit by the Kenite scribes to where it just doesn't make sense. Man simply cannot understand that he will never be perfect, and his records are flawed.

Psalms 141:8 "But mine eyes are unto Thee, O God the Lord: In Thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute."

This focuses to where you trust should be, not in self, but in our Lord God.

Psalms 141:9 "Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, And the gins of the workers of iniquity."

Psalms 141:10 "Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape."

The wicked would set their traps and snares to catch me in their wicked deeds, But the Lord will put the His net out there to keep you out of the snares and give you a way of escape. He will lead you down His narrow path that is free from all of their snares and gins. There is a time when that angel of death will return to this earth again, and that angel is Satan. If you have that seal of truth over the doorpost of your mind, he will pass right over you, and you will not be tempted by Him. God will protect you, and Satan will have his orders to leave your alone, as recorded in Revelation 9:4, and 5. It's time to study to have that seal in your mind, that allows you to know the events of our day, so that you will not be drawn into those snares that the workers of iniquity are setting up to trap those unaware.
